      Theres no difference. The state, which job it is to secure capitalist interests, will follow the same path, which means exerting oppression to divide the proletariat to secure capitalist interest.

        Maybe there’s no difference in the US. Luckily, we don’t live there. We have so many laws regarding employment and consumer rights. Both of which would be in direct conflict with only securing capital interests.

        For example. Parents are entitled to pretty much a year of maternity and paternity leave. It would be illegal to fire them because of it.

        Full time employees are entitled to 4 weeks of consecutive vacation.

        If you purchase produce and find it’s rotten when you get home, not only do you have the right to return it, the store have to compensate you on top of it.

        Please tell me how that is oppression to secure capital interest.

          We can see this live happening in Germany. Since last year the pressure the government is exerting onto poor people has increased rapidly. There are constant attacks to weaken the rights employees. Theres literally no reason to do what our current government is doing except to weaken the position of people applying to jobs, because they knew that the state will fuck them in the ass (without consent and without lube) if they dont have a job. This forces people into working conditions they would not accept otherwise.

          Its always the same. If capitalism demands to demolish workers rights the state will usually not hesitate to do exactly this.

            Okay. So what does Germany have to do with Sweden?

            In the last 50 years. Workers rights in Sweden have increased. Not decreased.

            You say capitalism is always the same, yet you don’t know the first thing about our culture, values, policies or laws.
